New 225 45 17 on 01 WRX bugeye at 13,000 miles on STI7 wheels. Got suspension set up at Town and County after fitting new wheels.

Now at 27,500 miles, outside of front tyres has still got 4mm of depth but insides are at 1.5 mm and inside edge is gone. The near side tyre is worn slighty more than the offside tyre.

Is that normal and is there anyone better in the Aberdeen area to get the suspension set up by.

My Sport needed new tyres after 40,000 miles but was a touch slower.

Eddie,
Sorry to see you have had no reply, but welcome to the scene. I live close by Aberdeen, but go to Falkland Performance centre in Fife to get the car set up. T&C will do the bog standard settings and it should have given better results than you describe. (By the way, I’m just impressed by the amount of mileage you have got so far)
Toby69 had his suspension/geometry set up in Huntly and had a good job done, but there are bound to be places local to Abz that will do a good standard job for you; I just do not know any myself.

Most folk are looking for the set up to be what you would describe as non-standard to help the car "turn in" better and keep the front tyre foot print flat through the corners, which equals excessive tyre ware not unlike what you are describing above.

Why not pop along to the Aberdeen meet next Tuesday night, there will be more help and advice on hand there.
